Description And after the show that night
The clowns had the makeup wiped from their faces
When somebody pulled a knife
and cut off Coco's bright red braces
They murdered the clown
They wiped that grin right off his face
They murdered the clown
Still the world's not a funnier place
funnier place

-Graham Parker

**************************************** *****

Well, I've had that song by Graham Parker stuck in my head for like forever so decided to draw an evil clown, which kinda turned into a zombie-esque clown...now I'm not sure what it is.
Anyway, I did it because I hate clowns.
Then, drawing this picture made me have a nightmare about chucky dolls with the faces of evil clowns coming after me. Doh.

I am so sick of this piece. I've been working on it for almost a year (or more than that?) and I can't seem to improve it. So here it is...I WON'T work on it any more. Blech.

Well, I can't find any reason you would need to work on it any more...
That is to say, I don't see anything that needs work, so you're safe there!

It's quite a powerful piece - very intense. The eyes especially catch my attention.
It kind of makes looks like the clown is a victim to me, though... probably some
psychology at work there!

I like going to the circus but if I were ever confronted by a clown; like one trying to pull me up on stage or do a trick to me...well I don't think the consequences would be very good at all. Thanks for the comment
